We are having the 2020 eLCC annual retreat on Friday September 27that the Westminster campus of Front Range Community College. Please RSVP https://forms.gle/D1PKSsNpjSydPgEg6 and share the link with colleagues. We’re asking all eLCC representatives to attend and we’re inviting anyone else who would like to be involved in the future of eLCC.

We (all eLCC members) have been invited to IEEE Denver free events. These events are for anyone who is interested in learning about the most current development in hardware and software engineering, robotics, research and theories in computer science as well as ethical issues in the technology industry. Here’s all the upcoming events to include one tomorrow.

Keith Graham (Professor of Embedded Systems Engineering at University of Colorado, Boulder)

We published our first edition ofThe Liminal on September 2, 2019. Please share out – the theme was fake news. We especially have 3 great pedagogy articles on how to teach or interrogate fake news. We also started out with our first 3 books reviews including one by eLCC’s very own Molly Smith. We’d like to thank all the reviewers and editorial people from eLCC who made this issue happen – Sherry Jones, Chris Luchs, Donna Hall and Heather Tobin. We had a great group of reviewers on this issue – Ryan Lambert, Chase Hart, Tina Morrell, Kelly Zepp and Tameca Coleman!!!

Just a cool technology note – if you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you’ll see the map that shows you how many downloads and where in the world the downloads are happening. If you’d like to be involved in any way in our next issue (author, reviewer, art work, editorial help, etc.) – please email kae.novak@frontrange.edu

We will have the eLCC Annual Retreat (agenda) 10 am – 4 pm on Friday, September 27th at the Westminster Campus of Front Range Community College. RSVP for Retreat

The 31st annual eLCC Conference will take place on April 15 – 17, 2020 at Beaver Run in Breckenridge, Colorado.

Several members of eLCC will be going to COLTT.
In fact we might recording some B roll with our eLCC Plushie, so be sure to look for us.

Also make sure to share with the eLCC listserv if you are doing a presentation.
A few of us will be doing – Meet Me On The Terrace.

It’s a new and informal discussion on Thursday & Friday at 3 pm in Wolf Law on the second floor. They scheduled us for the terrace (but depending on the weather- we’ll move it inside). We put more up on this discussion on our Multiculturalism and Equity group page.

At the eLCC conference, we had Beyond Culturally Relevant Pedagogy and Beyond Dominant Tech Culture sessions where we discussed social justice and education.

If you would like to continue that conversation especially with students, here’s an invitation from UCD education students on the topic of social justice.

Dear Community Members,

Please join us next Wednesday, May 8th for The UnSettled States of whiteness. This event is a series of UCD Educational Foundation 4001/5001 student panels on racism, racial privilege, white supremacy and colorblind racism. These series of panels will identify and critically analyze whiteness to understand racial implications in everyday society. Participants will start to learn a vocabulary of how to talk about whiteness and what to do to challenge racism.

Admission: Free but an RSVP would be appreciated.
Food will be served.
This event is open to the public. Please forward this invitation to anyone you feel might be interested.
